I like the concept of another CTS-v although I would be fine with a twin turbo direct inject v6. Lighter on the front end than a nose heavy v8. The CTSv has not come close to a 50/50 weight dist.....they need to watch that.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. A twin turbo setup is going to need a pretty big intercooler, and all of the tubing, etc., is going to add a lot of weight. I would actually bet that a TT HF V6 would weigh more than a NA 6.2L V8, but if the 6.2 is supercharged and intercooled, then that's going to add a lot of weight too. So, I'd say you'd be at a pretty similar weight.
